How To Live Your Best Non-Toxic Life w/ Amanda Montalvo

Living a non-toxic life is more than drinking a detox tea or swapping out your products, it's about creating a space in which your body's natural rhythm can shine. Amanda Montalvo is an integrative dietitian specializing in women's hormones & is passionate about helping others create a more non-toxic lifestyle. Today Amanda is here to talk about periods, poop & sweat, the trifecta of things that nobody really wants to talk about, but that significantly impact our hormones & how we feel.

About Amanda Montalvo

Amanda believes that by viewing toxin detoxifying as a cumulative process you can feel empowered to take steps towards achieving your goal and living a more natural life on a day to day basis. On this episode, we explore everything from embracing that you can be strong without achieving a certain ‘look’, understanding how our environment impacts the way our body functions, raising awareness around what is considered normal when it comes to pooping and so much more.

Once you are able to get your body to a state of homeostasis, you will be able to lose weight easier, sleep better and understand what is going on inside your body so you can make the best decisions to serve yourself. It is time to ditch the self-deprecating attitude towards your body and find natural, non-toxic ways of nourishing your body and taking care of it the way it needs to be taken care of.

Are you ready to ditch the toxins and start talking to yourself like you are your own best friend? Let us know what steps you are taking to live a more non-toxic life in the comments on the episode page.
